Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age—typically starting in the late 30s for men and perimenopausal years for women. This decline is often gradual but can become more pronounced due to stress, sleep disruption, weight gain, and chronic inflammation. Testosterone therapy at KairWell focuses on achieving physiological balance—not extremes—using bioidentical formulations that are individualized for each patient.

We offer two highly effective testosterone therapies:

• Topical Testosterone Cream: A customized low-dose option, particularly ideal for women and men who prefer a non-invasive delivery. Applied to the skin once daily, the cream helps improve libido, mood, cognitive sharpness, and energy. Women especially benefit from small, precisely measured doses that avoid unwanted side effects like acne or hair growth.

• Injectable Testosterone Cypionate: A long-acting form of testosterone administered weekly or biweekly, most commonly used for men. This option provides steady, controlled testosterone levels and is highly effective for boosting muscle mass, reducing visceral fat, and improving stamina and mental focus. Injections are typically self-administered with our guided training or offered in-office by our staff.

All testosterone therapy at KairWell begins with a comprehensive consultation, symptom inventory, and lab panel that includes total and free testosterone, estradiol, hematocrit, and more. We monitor progress with follow-up labs and periodic symptom reviews to fine-tune dosing and maximize results.
